Revision as of 16:14, 17 December 2021
In Greek mythology, the goddess Pandia /pænˈdaɪə/ or Pandeia (Template:Lang-grc-gre, meaning "all brightness")[1] was a daughter of Zeus and the goddess Selene, the Greek personification of the moon.[2] From the Homeric Hymn to Selene, we have: "Once the Son of Cronos [Zeus] was joined with her [Selene] in love; and she conceived and bare a daughter Pandia, exceeding lovely amongst the deathless gods."[3] An Athenian tradition perhaps made Pandia the wife of Antiochus, the eponymous hero of Antiochis, one of the ten Athenian tribes (phylai).[4]
Originally Pandia may have been an epithet of Selene,[5] but by at least the time of the late Homeric Hymn, Pandia had become a daughter of Zeus and Selene.[6] Pandia (or Pandia Selene) may have personified the full moon,[7] and an Athenian festival called the Pandia (probably held for Zeus[8]) was perhaps celebrated on the full-moon and may have been connected to her.[9]
